It was such a balmy afternoon yesterday that we just had to go for a walk along the beach. I know that I have said this many times before, but I love this beach. It is wild, and can be dangerous if swimmers do not swim between the flags set out by the lifeguards. This time we headed south, where there were less people .

It was difficult to tell where the sky ended and the beach began. The clouds hung low over the surf and the reflection in the sand was amazing.

There are always great things to find, and as the tide was out there were some wonderful things washed up on the sand...

These seed pods littered the beach, I have no idea where they would have come from, this one reminded me of a hand reaching out. I have brought one home to see if I can get it to grow.

This find was alive, each one of the petals had a living being inside, it looked a bit like a snail...

That beach is spectacular, and you're so lucky to have it nearby! What wonderful finds you made! Sometimes it's almost hard to believe what nature can come up with. Those seed pods are unusual, to say the least. Keep us informed about what it grows into! The next one looks a bit like something alien :-) And I just love the seaweed necklace! Superb shots!
